Previously on tumblr, still getting used to this (AU, Canon is Corpse Bride & A:MR)

Dear Mun,

So -- this is Dreamwidth.

*looks around*

It's all right, I suppose. It is nice to have more than one facial expression. Though I wish you wouldn't obsess so much over my icons. It gets worrying. I'm just glad you put up those posts in my journal to properly explain my history.

Though. . .what do you plan to do with me here? Do you really think anyone's going to want to say hello? It may be q-quiet back on tumblr, but -- at least there's someone whom I know. Who sometimes wants to play with me. Here, everyone's a stranger. And I have to say, I don't hold out much hope of finding an Alice. At least, one who's interested in me.

Still, I know you'll do as you like and I can't stop you. Just -- please. Think hard before you throw me into any of those "memes." I know you.

Yours (perhaps a bit reluctantly),
Victor

Well, I'm always here to chat, just waiting for Jack, and of course...Halloween.

Oh yes, that's the one. I helped her sew up the lace when it tore. She's quite kind. I think my mun's gone looking for her.

[forgotten_vows]

Ah, Halloween! My mun didn't get much of a chance to celebrate because of the hurricane. As for myself -- well, there's not much cause to celebrate anything in the East End, I'm afraid.

*smile* Isn't she though? I know she can be a bit hard to get close to, but. . .she's rather amazing.

[inthewind]

Oh? That's a shame...let's see.

[ Don't mind Sally, patting down her pockets and eventually, sifting through her sewing basket for a lone piece of orange and purple candy. It's mid-November, she's....in short supply. It's offered nonetheless. ]

I'm afraid that's all I have left, but. There's always reason to celebrate.

That's the only time we spoke, unfortunately. But if her politeness is anything, I have to agree with you, she's rather amazing.

[forgotten_vows]

Yes, she loves the holiday -- giving out candy to trick-or-treaters, going around in costume, things like that. Fortunately there were some activities the following Saturday.

*He's a little surprised, but he gives her a shy smile as he takes it.* Thank you. *He looks a little more dubious about 'always reason to celebrate,' but he won't say anything. Besides, free candy.*

Oh, I see. *smiles* She's one of the bravest people I know. She's been through a lot. *He fiddles with the candy.* We both have. Or will go through -- it's a b-bit hard when your mun has only the first two parts of your backstory up, but always pictures you as from after a-all of it.

[inthewind]

I know the feeling quite well. Mines not chosen a point for me yet: making it...quite strange to see anyone else.

You're welcome. Happy Halloween.

She sounds quite brave, not many would let someone like me stitch up their clothes.

[ Sally smiles shortly. ]

[forgotten_vows]

Oh dear. Yes, I would imagine that would get confusing. With me it's more of a case of possibly being a walking s-spoiler for a fanfic series. *awkward laugh* Though I'll take that over some of the o-other points she could pull me from. . .

Happy Halloween.

She is. She's -- she's l-lost so much, and yet, she keeps going. *He smiles weakly back at her.* And you're much nicer than some of the "regular" people I've met.

[inthewind]

[ She nods. ]

Thank you. That's what I hear; not very many "normal" people are as nice as others. Then again I'm fairly normal where I'm from, in Halloween Town. Most everyone I know is nice, at least to me.

And with Christmas coming, you'd imagine most to be happier and full of, err, 'good cheer', but really, some people are just...not ever having a good day.

I do suppose you're right, there's some things you'd...much rather not remember.

[forgotten_vows]

*rather grumpily* I live in London's East End. I g-get to see just how horrible "normal" people can be. Halloween Town sounds much friendlier. Rather like the Land of the Dead.

I'm not entirely sure it's possible to have a good day in Whitechapel. Then again, I live in the worst part of it, and I was under the care of -- well -- a real monster.

*winces* Ah -- I suppose -- I'm sorry, I h-have a bit of trouble with "not remembering. . ." One of the points my mun could pull me from (and I know she's thought about it) involves me having near-total amnesia.

[inthewind]

Perhaps you should visit sometime. It's...really a scream.

How frightening. There's good and bad scared, and that doesn't sound very good at all.

Near...total amnesia. Where you can't remember a thing?

[forgotten_vows]

*small smile* Perhaps I will, if I can find a way. The Land of the Dead turned out to be quite the nice place, after all. And I'm used to "spooky" people by now. *Comes from nearly marrying a corpse bride.*

*He shakes his head.* Some of the things I w-went through there. . . *full-body shudder* B-bad scared. D-definitely bad scared.

*Nods, looking at his feet.* There were -- bits and pieces, here and there, but. . .n-nothing. . . And if it weren't for Alice. . . *God, he's not even sure he wants to say."

[inthewind]

Well, anything can happen here. Especially in those meme things. You'll see; there's quite a few different things to look forward to, rather than what homes seems to be like for you.

Don't think about it if you don't have to. It's like after every Halloween; it's over, but there's always next year to start working on.

[forgotten_vows]

Heh -- well, it can be fairly odd on tumblr too, especially with "magic anons." I'm hoping this means I'm w-well-prepared for memes.

*nods* Yes, it's not a time I like to d-dwell on. *brightens a little* True. This is something of a new beginning for me.

[inthewind]

Exactly. Another door opened. That's the best way to look at it I think.

[forgotten_vows]

*smile* Yes, indeed. Looking to the future.
